Study the questions that matter most, strengthen weak ACS areas, and walk into the oral knowing where every answer comes from. Every card is mapped to a real FAA Airman Certification Standards code and backed by FAR/AIM references — so you are studying the same standard your examiner uses. Prepare smarter. Fly with confidence. Pass your checkride. WHAT’S INCLUDED • ACS-aligned decks for Private Pilot, Instrument Rating, Commercial Pilot, and CFI • Knowledge, risk, and skill cards with FAR/AIM citations on the reverse • Spaced repetition (Again, Hard, Good, Easy) so due cards come back before they fade • A checkride countdown and daily plan that works backward from your ride date • Focus areas that surface what still needs work — not just what you already know • Oral exam practice: say the answer out loud the way you would for a DPE • An ACS mastery map from area down to task, with Novice → Proficient → Mastered titles • Study offline — decks ship on your device • Soft streaks with one freeze a month. Missing a day is low-stakes, not a guilt trip • Achievements for showing up, honest reviews, and real ACS progress • An opt-in live study board: callsign (or first name), country flag, streaks, and achievements — ranked on habit, not card-mashing • Sign in with Apple or Google. iPhone and iPad.
